How Nurseplus’ In-House Clinical Trainers Keep You Ahead of the Curve
Big changes are coming, and they're set to bring in a new era for confident and skilled care professionals.
These shifts are set to give care providers the power to deliver complex care right in the heart of our communities. So, as the NHS works to ease the load, new solutions like community hubs, virtual wards, and neighbourhood care teams are set to become an everyday reality.
This means care providers will need to be ready to step up and handle more complicated care needs locally, changing how community healthcare looks for the better. For many organisations, this shift will bring both opportunity and pressure and the question will no longer be “Do we have enough staff?” but instead “Are our staff skilled to deliver new levels of care expected?”
At Nurseplus, we believe the answer lies in investing in more specialist training that equips care professionals and providers to meet these changes head on. That’s why we’re proud to have our own in-house Clinical Trainer, James Dowie, at the heart of our professional development approach.
Expertise That Raises the Standard of Care
James, brings years of front-line clinical experience, supporting both primary and acute settings. His role at Nurseplus is simple but vital: to ensure our care professionals have the skills, confidence, and knowledge they need to deliver exceptional, safe, person-centered support, now and in the future, especially when it comes to more specialist or complex care needs.
Working closely with our Training Team, James is helping to shape and deliver advanced clinical training in areas such as:
Complex care and delegated healthcare tasks
Medication management and safe administration
Clinical observations and escalation procedures
Supporting people with long-term conditions
Best practice safeguarding and risk assessment
Specialist techniques that will align to new models of community care
It is this blend of clinical expertise and practical training that will ensure our staff aren’t just meeting the bare minimum but rather staying ahead of the curve.
Why Clinical-Led Training Matters More Than Ever
Our NHS is undergoing a major shift, moving more services into communities to improve access, reduce pressure on hospitals, and give people care where they are most comfortable, in their local area.
These services will include:
✔️ Expanded community diagnostic services
✔️ Increased use of virtual wards
✔️ More integrated neighbourhood care teams
✔️ Enhanced rehabilitation and step-down support outside hospitals
As a result, we believe care providers will begin to see a growing need for trained and qualified care professionals who have the skills needed to support services and help people with more complex care needs. Regulations are evolving and expectations will keep rising, so having an in-house Clinical Specialist like James guiding training means our staff will be prepared for:
✔️ New national standards
✔️ Evolving best practice
✔️ Emerging clinical tasks being delegated to community care providers
✔️ Higher levels of autonomy when supporting people outside traditional settings
Clinical Training That Builds Confidence, and Better Outcomes
What sets Nurseplus apart is our clinical training is not generic or “off the shelf.” James ensures it is:
Tailored to real care environments - Training reflects the practical situations staff encounter daily.
Updated in line with latest guidance - Ensuring your workforce remains compliant and current.
